The Queen Mother said immediately, "Since Concubine Chen said so, I will verify it later. Yang Shuxuan, do you have any evidence? How can you take the words of a few servants seriously? I will not pursue it for the time being because you and Concubine Qiao are also thinking about the royal family. You have been ill for several months and have not improved yet. You should return to Chengming Palace to recuperate."
The Queen Mother will investigate, no matter what, she will eventually find out that Long Si is Mu Ci's child.
Concubine Yang knew that she had greatly offended the Emperor and the Empress Dowager this time, but had not achieved the expected effect. It would be disadvantageous for her to continue arguing. Concubine Yang was used to being flexible, so she respectfully took her leave.
Qiao Yunting felt bored staying there, and was about to leave when Ye An stopped him.
Qiao Yunting looked back, and Ye An hesitated for a moment before saying, "Princess Qiao, why are you targeting me?"
Concubine Yang would be fine, Ye An always felt that she was scheming. Although he didn't like Qiao Yunting, he had the impression that he was a straightforward person. He didn't expect that he would join forces with Concubine Yang. Ye An was a little disappointed with the aggressive Qiao Yunting. Perhaps the palace was a place like this, where the fight for the emperor's favor and power would change people's temperament drastically.
"Your Majesty, I didn't." Qiao Yunting denied subconsciously, "I was just telling the truth for the good of Your Majesty..."
Qiao Yunting suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words. He even questioned the Dragon Heir, so how dare he say that he was not targeting the Emperor?
No matter who Long Si’s biological father is, he is the emperor’s child after all.
"Your Majesty." Qiao Yunting said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have no other intentions..."
"You go ahead."
Ye An didn't want to hear his explanation and asked him to leave.
Qiao Yunting walked out of Changle Palace with heavy steps. A cold wind blew towards him, making his heart chill. Yang Shuxuan and several eunuchs were waiting outside.
"It seems that it is not so easy to overthrow Mu Ci, Qiao Yunting, you and I still need to work hard... Mu Ci's father is the Grand Tutor. If that side has a prince in advance, it will be extremely disadvantageous to you and me..."
Yang Shuxuan had a sinister look on his face. The same trick couldn't be used twice. Mu Ci would obviously be on guard. It seemed that he couldn't make a fuss about Long Si's biological father. Mu Ci is Long Si's biological father. Given the emperor's love for Concubine Chen, if the baby is a prince, he might directly make him the crown prince and then the queen...
The throne belongs to him, and he must do something to stop all this.
"Qiao Yunting, did you hear that?"
Yang Shuxuan talked for a long time, but Qiao Yunting seemed to be preoccupied and did not respond.
Yang Shuxuan became impatient and asked his confidant to push Concubine Qiao.
Qiao Yunting suddenly came back to his senses and said calmly, "I heard it. What do you want?"
Yang Shuxuan licked his lips and showed a bloodthirsty smile: "If there is no dragon heir..."
That child is really in the way.
"No!" Qiao Yunting said firmly, "You must not attack the emperor."
Yang Shuxuan rolled his eyes: "It's just an unborn child, and Mu Ci's child, why are you so distressed?"
Qiao Yunting said sternly: "If you attack Long Si, you will definitely hurt the emperor. Yang Shuxuan, I don't care what you do to Mu Ci, but if you dare to hurt the emperor, I will be the first one to not let you go."
Qiao Yunting glanced at Yang Shuxuan with a warning, bowed coldly, and parted ways with him.
"Qiao Yunting, you're a waste!" Yang Shuxuan coughed a few times and cursed viciously behind him.
Ye An said goodbye to the Queen Mother, but after thinking about it over and over again, he still couldn't figure it out.
After pulling Mu Ci onto the dragon chariot, he walked a distance before tugging at Mu Ci's sleeve and saying, "Brother Aci, have you arranged the inn in advance?"
Based on his understanding of Mu Ci, he would not mention a place name for no reason.
Mu Ci took the opportunity to hold him in his arms, adjusted his position to make him sit more comfortably, then leaned close to Ye An's ear and said something.
Ye An's ears turned red. It turned out that what Mu Ci had told the Queen Mother was the inn where they stayed when they had made love for the first time. Places like that usually register the information of the people who stay there, so if you've slept there, there will naturally be a record.
Moreover, the situation was urgent at the time. Mu Ci had a good memory and still clearly remembered that when the clerk in the store registered for him, he only hastily wrote down Ye An's name as "An". Now it saves a lot of trouble.
"Brother Aci, why don't I have any impression of it?"
Ye An found that he was angry and angry at the moment of battle, and he was unable to refute Concubine Yang properly.
Ever since I got pregnant, I've been sleeping all day. It seems that sleeping too much has made my memory worse and my brain a little dull...
"Oh no, there seems to be a saying that pregnancy makes people stupid for three years."
Ye An hurriedly counted on his fingers. He would have seven or eight children. Wouldn't that mean he would be stupid for a total of twenty-four years?
The way he counted anxiously was so adorable. Mu Ci coughed lightly and opened his palm to cover his two fingers.
"Xiao An, that's not how it's calculated. You... you don't necessarily give birth every three years."
Ye An took a deep breath. Yes, based on how passionately he was clinging to Mu Ci, after giving birth to one child, he would probably get pregnant again in a year or two. With all these complications, what would become of him?
Unexpectedly, giving birth would have such side effects. Ye An buried his head in Mu Ci's arms, too depressed to speak.
Mu Ci said softly: "Don't worry, I will protect you and the child."
Ye An felt warm in his heart, knowing that he could definitely do it. Even if he was a little silly, he didn't feel so wronged.
Ye An deliberately said mischievously: "I have become stupid anyway and cannot understand memorials. Brother Aci, please help me read them in the future."
Mu Ci said, "Okay."
Ye An is not the kind of person who holds grudges, and he would be happy with just a few simple words. People tend to be lazy during pregnancy, so Ye An openly pushed all the work to Mu Ci, so that he would have plenty of time to pester Mu Ci.
"Xiao An..."
Mu Ci rubbed his head to hide the coldness in his eyes. Although Ye An didn't care, he couldn't just let it go. Yelu Han has been dealt with. If the two concubines Qiao and Yang come for him, he can ignore them for the sake of balance among the three ministers, but they should not have any ideas about the child, which makes Ye An worried.
The issue of the heir to the throne could actually be determined by a blood test after the baby was born, but the time interval was too long, and who knows what Concubines Qiao and Yang would do, which would also cause Ye An and the child to be talked about by others. Mu Ci was reluctant to do so, but he had to stand up and admit the facts. Reputation was indeed not as important as family.
Looking at Ye An's hands subconsciously placed on his lower abdomen in a protective gesture, Mu Ci thought that he would never let Xiao An and the child fall into danger again.
Yelu Han was imprisoned for several days. When the guards were about to send him away, they cried loudly, begging the emperor to see him. However, the emperor never showed up from beginning to end. The guards still forced him into a blue sedan chair, which set off at night and soon disappeared into the night. Everyone in the palace acted as if nothing had happened, as if Yelu Han had never existed.
In the past, Ye An might have worried about Yelu Han's situation after arriving in Yu Luo. After all, sending him back directly would be the same as divorcing him. But when he thought about the several times this person had caused trouble, he felt that it would be better for him not to be too sympathetic. Sometimes sympathy is also a kind of indulgence. Such people will never wake up unless they suffer a little.
Ye An completely ignored him. From then on, only when envoys from Yu Luo delivered letters would they occasionally mention the little prince's recent situation. It was nothing more than when Yu Luo got angry and clamored for his father, the King of Yu Luo, to send him back to the Wei Dynasty. The King of Yu Luo had several white hairs, and it was still Yelu Han's closest brother Yelu Chu who stepped forward to lock Yelu Han up. Yelu Han even lowered himself to escape a few times.
Ye An felt chilled when he heard this. He still didn't understand why the little prince was so concerned about him. Although Yelu Han would never come to Wei to cause trouble again on his own, Mu Ci still secretly instructed all the guards that if they saw Yelu Han, they should capture him, gag him and send him away.
Ye An's pregnant belly is becoming more and more obvious day by day. The imperial physician said that he could feel the fetal movement around this month. Ye An is looking forward to it every day, but for now, apart from her belly getting swollen, there is no reaction at all.
Mu Ci has been accompanying him in the Xuande Hall recently. There is a very long kang table placed on the dragon bed. There was no such thing in the Wei Dynasty. Ye An drew it himself and asked the craftsmen to make it. After it was made, it was placed on the bed. He and Mu Ci could sit side by side on the dragon bed. On his side of the table were various snacks and small gadgets, while on Mu Ci's side was a thick stack of memorials, not only about political affairs, but also about palace affairs. He frowned when he read them.
The weather had turned cold. Ye An was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe embroidered with a dark pattern of the word "Fu", and a small brocade jacket on the outside. The collar and cuffs were decorated with a circle of snow-white silver fox fur. He was concentrating on peeling an orange, and soon his fingertips were stained with a little bright yellow.
Ye An tasted a petal first and thought it tasted good, so he carefully removed the tendons and stuffed it into Mu Ci's mouth. Mu Ci just felt it was a little sour. Ye An's taste has changed a lot recently. He used to like sweet and spicy food, but recently he likes sour food. He wants to dip everything in vinegar, but fortunately he doesn't need to eat oranges.
Mu Ci swallowed the orange without changing his expression. Ye An leaned on his shoulder and read the memorial for a while.
Ye An occasionally felt a little guilty for letting Mu Ci handle all the government affairs, because Mu Ci had a lot of palace affairs to do, and eunuchs from various palaces would come to ask about him from time to time, and he was very busy all day long, so he got this table so that the two of them could get together when they were busy.
"Why would Yelu Chu write a private letter with just a few words of greeting?"
Ye An picked up a memorial and put it aside heavily. Yelu Chu seemed to be the person who was framed in the previous Prince Yu Luo case, right? Ye An could hardly remember what this person looked like.
The journey from Dawei to Yu Luo is a long way, and writing a letter without talking about business is not a waste of time and money.
"you do not know?"
Mu Ci smiled. Since he took over the government, he had received no less than ten letters like this from Yelu Chu. Mu Ci did not reply to any of them, but Yelu Chu could still continue writing with great interest.
Unexpectedly, after the younger brother was driven away, the older brother came. The concubine felt that she was guarding a piece of honey, which was sweet but also sad.
"……I have no idea."
Ye An was increasingly unwilling to think too much about it. Anyway, this was a private letter, not a diplomatic letter. Yelu Chu's letter was full of nonsense. Couldn't he just reply directly? If he had something to say, say it quickly. If he had to fart, fart quickly?
Ye An suddenly had an idea and said something bad. He took the pen from Mu Ci's hand and wrote a random sentence. Mu Ci hugged him from behind, wrapped his hand, and continued with the next sentence.
When Ye An took a look, he saw the obvious handwriting of both people. Mu Ci did it on purpose and did not try to hide it.
If you have something to say, say it quickly. I don’t have time to talk to you.
Ye An burst into laughter. Brother A Ci was much more elegant than him, but also much more lethal.
As he was laughing, he suddenly felt as if a small fish was swimming inside his body, and it made him feel a little itchy.
Not knowing why it was described like this, Ye An didn't take it seriously. He thought it was his stomach growling because he had eaten too much. He planned to ask Mu Ci to go outside for a walk soon to help digest the food.
But after a while, it swam mischievously again, and Ye An was stunned.
This, could it be...
"Brother Aci, he moved!"
Ye An threw off the quilt and shouted excitedly.
